Ask the Festivult Jester: Submissions!

The Festivult Jester is interested in answering some of your Festivult-related (or Jester-related) questions in an upcoming column over on his my.ddo blog, and wants your submissions!

Please reply in this thread with a question or two for the Jester; we'll pass your questions along to his Cookie-ness to look over and answer several of in an upcoming column!

To sweeten the deal, we'll be randomly selecting five posts below at 5pm Eastern today and award those posters Turbine Points! We'll send the winners a PM with a code to enter for 500 Turbine Points in the DDO Store! Please note that these codes are set to expire at Midnight Eastern on December 31st, so you will need to redeem the code in the DDO Store before then for them to work! Thanks, and good luck!

Does quest difficulty affect the drop rate? In past Festivults I had seen some evidence that at hard/elite level drop rate was WORSE, and normal was the best, but it was tenuous evidence at best.

Does quest level affect the drop rate? In the past that did not seem to be the case, but this time I ran the heck out of Haverdasher without a single gold coin, then got 3 gold coins from one Shroud run.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

"Of course it is. Are YOU going to question beholder's artistic sense?"

At a recent party down at the Leaky Dingy, I was served a very tasty dish. I asked the server what it was called and he replied "Elf Pudding, The Festivult Jester's favorite holiday treat!" My question is, is that made FOR elves, BY elves, or OF elves?

Are the exceptional reward prizes only for gold coin turn ins or do I have a chance for say a sun blade or +4 tome from copper turn ins, even if at a much reduced rate

But really, the EPL's are not worth the pain of 6 million XP in off destinies/sphere's.

1. Do any of your treats come in low fat, low calorie, or low carb options?

2. What should I get my sweetie for Festivult when she has everything a raging Half Orc Barbarian could want?

3. Who should I call if I experience an adverse reaction to any of your treats?

3. Which treat is your favorite?

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.

Okay, we know that a lower tier coin set can upgrade to the next higher tier, etc. Would you be willing to share the odds of turning in a Copper set and getting an Exceptional item? (Not the level-by-level breakdown, just the bottom line '1:umpteen-bazillions' chance.)

Can you ask your confectioner elves to research making the Cupcakes from a slightly better brand of ingredients? (Would be nice if Cupcakes were maybe CMW, just to bump them up a bit from the standard Korthos starter pots.)

1. The cookies that you are giving away are based from named bosses. Is the idea behind this pertains to your inner desire to conquer or devour the aforementioned named bosses? But because of your "choice" or "reason" not to fight, you transfer all this inner desire in baking the cookies instead to simulate "control"? Or perhaps the reason behind this is, the named bosses are really misunderstood and you are spreading a subliminal message saying they have "good" effects in all over Eberron?

2. Are you an adventurer before and took a cookie in the knee?

I know it says two, but I would like the Jester's Opinion:
Which is way cuter, Halfling in a Santa Suit or a Snow-Kobold (Snowman in kobold form)?
